Jim Hoban, executive chef at Four Corners Tavern Group in Chicago, serves this soothing tea in the late afternoon and early evening. To create the beverage, he steeps warming spices of cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, peppercorns and honey in almond milk, then stirs the mixture into brewed Earl Grey for a steaming cup of spicy, milky tea. Turmeric, touted for its anti-inflammatory properties, is showing up more often in lattes and teas.

1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1 1/4 inch thinly sliced ginger
6 whole black peppercorns
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 cup water
6 oz. Earl Grey tea
